When we flung off the fetters of British dominion
And boldly asserted our right to be tree,
Did vre cast off a King to take np witb a minion,
Did we dam up a river to let in the sea ?
For seven long years did we shed blocd like water,
And liberty purchase for high and lor low,
To.lay it, in lets than a centuiy nfier,
Like a gilt at the leet of Abe Lincoln & Co.
Away with the thought I- it is sh>-er profanation,
Say uot the r d rain tbat poured down thick
nod fast
In the days of our forefather's fierce tribulation.
Produces butirMtora and slaves tit tbe lasst.'
Say not that the offsprings ol mm wbo contended
Witb England, and beat her, will flee Irom tbe
lace
Of those modern Triumvirs whose uprise portended
Shame, danger and debt—Seward, Lincoln aod
Chase.
Say not lbat this glorious Republic, a model
That statesmen might copy, ia now given o'er
To lawyers, and croak.rs, and men used to dwndle
Their lives out in bars lelliogjokesby the score.
Oh, for those days! when the first war-cloud
clearing, -
Left us happy at home and respected abroad.
When at Freedom's high altar we worsh'Jped un-
learing.
And proudly acknowledged no "ruler" but God
With a bound we bad sprung from dependence to
glory._
Changed subjection to freedoom. dishonor to
fame,
And nations whose record is blazoned in story
Struck tyranny down while invoking our name.
Ah, well may our hearts swell withjipble emotion,
And our bosoma expand with a generous pride,
When we think how our fathers' heroic devotion
To freedom has been by tbeir offspring belied.
For now all is changed, and the land that lay
glowing
In Ihe sunshine of Freedom is shrouded from
view,
And the soil on which laurels and olives were
growing,
Is dreary witt cypress and dismal wilh yew.
Our rights are a mylb. and our laws a tradition.
And our liberties trampled beneath the armed
heel.
And fools in their folly decree it seditions,
For patriots to speak, or for freemen to feel.
But yesterday, strong, independent, united.
No blood ou onr bands, oo Cain braud on our
brow.
Today, what? Come tell us ye men who have
blighted
The national honor. Say what are we now ?
The bye-word ol tyrants, the scuff ol '.he nations.
Dumb dogs crouching down to a rude whipperin,
By slaves and by despots through all generations
Despised foK our piofitless E-.au-like sin.

Slate's Rights,
Remove not the ancient landmarks' which thy fathers
have set—-Pjoverbs xxii, 2SJ.
It is piofltable at all times to recur to first prin-
ci|I-s That holds good iu religion and politics.
Such recurrence, il done with the proper spirit,
will always prove advantageous to nations and
individuals, to ruleis and the governed. The an-
cent landmarks which Ihe fathers have set, are
guides which Bhould not be removed hy tboBe who
disire to be governed in tbeir daily walk and con-
vetsatiou by respect for the rights of their brethren and neighbors. We, propose as the spirit of
the times ig giving birth to every vague and loose
ideas about State's rights, to recur to the aneient
landmarks on the subject, which the people will
never allow to be removed as long as ther have
tbe will and tbe spirit lo maintain tbeir liberties.
Upon examining the Declaration of Independence it will be seen that anterior to ihe adopt on of
it, the thirteen States were thirteen separate and
distinct British colonies, each having separate and
distinct local governments, yet owing allegiance
to Great Britain, Tire Declaration of Independence declared these colonies to be thirteen "free
»nd independent States ;'' that as such "they have
full power to levy war," &a., and to "do all other
acls and things which independent States may of
right do." Tbis assertion of sovereignty was
adopted aud promulgated as the act of thirteen
States, and tint as tbe the act of a natioti or people
consolidated as one government. It is signed by
delegates representing the thirteen Slates, It also
dt'clsres that "whenever any lorm of government becomes destructive" of tb • "inalienable
rigbta of life, liberty and the puisuit of happiness,
it is the right nf the people to alter or abolish it,
and lo institute a new government."
In pursuance of tbis understanding, each of the
thirteen States, as separate and distinct sovereignties or governments, waged war with Great Britain, and as such, continued to do during tbe war.
Iu 1778 the Articles of Confederation were adopted. In this the sovereignty | or individuality of
each State it also expressly admitted and recognized. It begins, ''We, tbe undersigned delegate-
of the States," not of the people ; it then names
each of the thirteen Stales, and by the second article it expressly declares "each State retains its
severeignty, &c. This war lor a 'perpetual
union."
The "perpetual Union" began or wasjformpd in
1778 ; anterior thereto, there was no "Union" or
general bead to direct or carry the plans of the
States in conducting the war. The Union was to
be perpetual. It was not so, however ; it lasted
only Irom 1778 to 1787—nine years ; duiing this
period all the Slates acted as sovereign and independent States in all matters, except only as respect to powers delegated by ibe Articles of Confederation. In 1783—tbe war beiug over Great
Britain made a treaty of peace. In this treaty
Great Britain mentions by name, admit? and declares the the thirteen otates—not the people ol
these States, nor tbe government ot the United
gtateg— 'to be free sovereign and independent
States ; that he (he kin./) treats ibem as such."
Again, this treaty says, ''tbat Congress shall earnestly recommend it to tbe Legislatures of tb* respective States, to provide for the restitution of all
estates," <fcc. &o.
Before theConstllution became binding upon any
State, it required nine States io ratify it. Delaware
ratified it iu December, 1787, and New Hampshire—the ninth State—iu June, 1796.. There was
mi provisions in the Ai lieb s ..I Confederation tbat?
the thii teen States were to be bound thereby until
tbe Constitution was ratified by the ninth Siatet
nor is there anything in the Conetitfition to (bat
effect. The "perpetual union" was therefore dissolved in Deoember>, 1787, seceding and ratifying
the Constitution ; Georgia ratified it on the seoOnd
of January, 1788 ; Connecticut, 9th of January,
1788; ;M»s#iivsbuseitR. 9tti of February, 1788;
Maryland. 2rl "of April. 1788; South Carolina,'
23d ot May, 1788 ; and New Hampshire—the 9th
State—21st ot June, 1788 The 21«t of June, -1.788
save bitth lolheOooat tuition, and a "more.peifeet
Union ;" an from that day the Constitution became Ihe great character of the nine-States whicb
bad so ratified it, as well as all the other States
which subsequently ratified it; tben it was tbat
the Federal Government,oi the United States.of
America-as a Government^.first came- into existence. It has been Bbown tbat the "perpeiual
union" was dissolved in 1787, and so continued
until June 1788. Its disolution did not take place
by the unanimous consent of all the States rem
posing it, nor by-theconsent of the majority of the
Sta es, but it was by virtue ol each State admitting aud exercising the independent sovereignty
inherent in each .-and the right to alter or abolish
their lorm of goverment. Thi-a is ahown to bg'so
by the tardiness with which (he States ratified the
Constitution and established the "more perfeel
Union." From 1787 to June, 1788, all the thirteen
States were again acting as so many separate and
distinct sovereignties or nations, as distinct aud
as when acting under the British character, and as
before they adopted tbe Articles of tbe Constitution. In 1788 the ninth State having ratified the ■
Constitution, only nine ofthe thirteen States were
bound thereby—they only were in the more perfect Union," and acknowledged'a common head or
agent ; this agent was authorized to act for tbe
nine States tinner certain delegated powers, derived from said States, delegated to it by each State
at Ihe different pertoids, and not by the people as
oue nation or consolidated body.
On ibe 21st of June, 1788, afler the Constitution
had been r.alified by the ninth State, there yet remained four of the thirteen States, which one were
in tbe "perpetual union,' hut were then not in tbe
"more perfect- Union ; these four Slates coniinut-d
to act und»r anil to carry on tbeir respective governments independently af each other and ol tbe
SSates camprising the "more perfect Union," until
one after another ratified the Constitution and became members ol lhe "more perfect Union.'' Until the four States did ratify the Constitution, eBCb
conducting its own affair as an independent sovereign State or nation, in amity with the Federal
Government. Those four States, before ratifying
the Constitution, were not bound, by tbe Constitution, nor did th.' Federal Government so claim,
nor did it assume any control or power over tbem.
The relations ot tbe Uuited States wilh tbese four
Slates were amicable, friendly and conciliatory.
Rh.rd" I-ilapd. one of lhe four Slates referred to,
remained a sovereign State, or distinct government, dividing Massachusetts from Cot}o$ati$j)t;
New York wae another nation or government, the
divided Mas aehuseUs, Connecticut and New
Hampshire from Peunsy vauia, New Jersey, &c. ;
Virginia and NorlbkG>irplina, lhe other two . nations or governments, divided Pennstl-Kanl-aiMary-
land &c, from South CaUplina and Georgia; yet
for all tbese tbe friendly lelationsof these five
different nations or governments were not i.isturb-
ed. altbou h these relations continued to the 29lh
of May. 1799, when lhe thirteen Statea ratified the
Constitution. In theae daya there were no such
fears as now exist and, and as are expressed by
Mr. Lincoln and his party, as to a "notional boun
dary npon which to divide;" there were tbe
"surveyor's line"dividing tbe States in the Uni' n;
'■straight ai d crooked lines" were drrfwn as "national bonndnr es" between lhe United Slates and
other governments. From the time ol tbe secession
of Pennsylvania. Rhode Island and New Jersey,
which dissolved the "perpetual Union" of 1778.
until tbe whole thirteen States Were in the "more
perfect Union," all were on triendly relations,
then there was no wag ng war by oue or more
States or nations against the other, to compel or
coerce by force, by confiiscatioo, subjugation, extermination, proclamations, &c sovereign States
into the "perpetual Union," nor yet into tbe
"more perfect Union." Physic..'Iy speaking, tbe
-'thirteen sovereign States" did dissolve the "per
petual Union," and did separate, and act uuder
and in pursuance of Ihe inalienable rightB possessed by each, and as claimed lo belong to them by
the Declaration ol Independence.
When Rhode Island, New York, Virginia/and
North Casolinaj! came into Vbe "more peifect
Union," and when tbey respectively ratified the
Constitution, each distinctly and expressly claimed
the r'ght-to 'Vesume tbe powe*1' thereby delegated
"whenever it became necessary for their happiness." The Constitution was ratified by the Sates
and not by the people ; tbe Article of Con federation were alao adopted by the States; so. also,
was the Declaration of Independence The affair."
ol tbe Federal Government were at one time administered with due respect for the State rights.
Its life and existence is dependent upon the States
as sovereignties ; the President is elected by the
States »od»ot by tbe majority ol the people ; so,
also, are -Senators, &o. Many of these acts of tha
President and ol Congress are in direct opposition
to the will ofthe majority of the. people. The
Slate governments ate the first born, tbe elder.
They were and yet are, endowed with the rigfes
of "free and Independent States ;" ihey were once
—until the Constitution bad been, and now is, so
often violated—iti the posfessioo of powers, piivi
legeB and attributes of sovereign States. The Federal Government is the yoonger ; its existence
sprang from ihr States ; its powers *.re delegated
and Hmited, derivative, nor inherent, and the
powers not delegated to It by the States are reserved to the States, or th-- people, and by express
r servation by som. of the State* before named.
Pennsylvania, as early as 1806, in the celebrated Olmstead ease, defiantly asserted her State
i
righis. Iu this case, she by her Legislature, ado|-.
led a report and resolutions; the report says: "The
spirit oPtbd- times gives-birth to the jeilitusy of
power. * * The State Governments with their
Inherent rights, mast, at every hazard, be preserved; other wise the General Government may assume a character never contemplated by its fram-
ers.
Resolved, That, should the independence of the
States, as secured by tbe Constitution, bs destroyed, tbe liberties of lhe people cannot long uttrvlve
* * And whenever the Government of the United Stales becomes ciwsolidated, we may learn from
the history of nations what will be the event "
New York, New Jersey, Pennslvanis, and ether
States, are beginning to see that "Ihe spirit ef the
times giv-ts b'rtb to thejealousv of powr-r"—tbat
.-'States rights must at every hazard bi pre.eiv-
ed," &e.
The forefathers admitted and respected State's
rights. Tbey did not suffer the States In tha
Udion to wage war. Sic, against Slates which were
once in, but afterward were out of the Union.—
They kuew that, had they done so,
"aller much loss on both Bides," (here would be
"no gain on either." They continued on friendly
relations with StateB not in the Union, and at the
same time respected their rights, wben, after a
time, tbese States were by kindness won over, and
they voluntarily all became members of one Union
again.
Who doubts that this was a just and wise policy,
and that it would bave been otherwise bad force
afltftfoercivp measures been resorted to. Alas!
aalas! that Mr. Lincoln did not practice what be
prpached in bis inaugural. Had he done so, and
taken example from our forefathers, there would
have been no war, no loes of life, of treasure, of
property, no diatress, nor wails of widows and orphans. Instead of curses upon his bead, he would
have bad blessihgs. "Cursed be he who removath
his neighbor's landmark; and all tbe people shall
say, amen.'
Progressing Backwards.
The Abolition journals are quite prond of repeating that the "rebellion" is reduced to such a
limited space that it must soon be "crushed out
altogether." Mr. Washburn, a member of Mr.
Lincoln's Congress from Illinois, and Mr. Dan.
Dickenson, and other speakers at tbe Cooper Institute last Wednesday evening, repealed this assertion, and boasted, with tbe nsnai spread eagle
atyie. of the wonderful propress of tbe war slnee
it began iu April, 18G1. Now, what are the actual
facts of this matter ? Seven Slates had seceded
aria'-refused to recognize Mr. Lincoln as their Chief
Magistrate, for not only had he no supporters in
the Southern Slates, but, simply as a private oitl-
zen, if he had ventured there, he would have been
arrested as an enemy to society and sent to tbe
penitentiary. Viiginia. North Carolina, Tennessee and ArknaDsas, though Mr. Li icoln was eqaal-
'y without supporters and equally subject te be
sent to the penitentiary if he ventured ia their
midst, were so deeply devoted to the Union, and
bad such a dread ol civil war, lhat tbey deslared,
by overwhelming majorities, not to leave the
Union, but trust to the protest of the seceding
.States to bring.the North to its senses. Virginia
bas made the Union, and not only given it almost
all.its celebiity, but tbe great Northwest and half
its territory; and therefore, the descendants of tbe
Washingtons, Jeffersons, Lees and Henrys, having
more cause than all other States and people to
stand by tbe work of their lathers, shrunk with
horror from its destruction. Thns stood ths ease
when Mr. Liucoln undertook to force the seeeded
Slates iu,tpeubmission, and called on ibe Governors of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee aod
Arkansas, in common wilh Massachusetts, «to., fer
.Irogprj to accomplish that object. Tbat was in
April, 1861 and this is October, 1863. aod save a
petty tract of territory about New Orleans, there
is not a single Federal soldier on the mainlaad of
the original Confederate territorj, while Mr. Lie-
coin bas lost-three-fourths of Virginia, two third*
of Tennessee, mote than half of Arkansas.'nearly
all ot N,»fflb Carolina, and at times the rebtls have
overrun Missouri, part of Maryland and Kentacky,
and even temporarily held a considerable portion
of Pennsylvania This is sneeess with avsngsanoe,
truly, and if Mr Lincoln continues thus lo progr***
backward for tbe rest of bis term, at the same ratio, it would seem almost 'certain tbat he will be
driven into the New England States, and ceme
out, high and dry the recognized President ef the
Bffaihired States. Such are the facts. Now, sup-
pidSe*Mr Lincoln hsd made no attempt to *o«r*e
the seVen seceding State", then it is absolutely eer-
tain the Union would include Virginia, Teaa-ssee,
North Carolina and Arkansas, wilbout tbe los* of
a'single lire, or the waste el a singls dollar. What
a stupendous madness is coercion 1—a madnesi
which, if continued until Mr. Lincoln's Istm is ap,
is almost certain to demolish wbat is left ef the
bnion. Bul the Union, the real Uuien, still survives in the hearts, faithful to the t emulation, and whatever the madness or srime ef the
hour, it will yet rise from tl • ruins that now ever-
shadow it. grander and more glorious thaa ev(|
when th. madness oollapses. aud.the madnea disappear from the sce,ue.—.V- Y. Day-Buuh.

When we flung off the fetters of British dominion
And boldly asserted our right to be tree,
Did vre cast off a King to take np witb a minion,
Did we dam up a river to let in the sea ?
For seven long years did we shed blocd like water,
And liberty purchase for high and lor low,
To.lay it, in lets than a centuiy nfier,
Like a gilt at the leet of Abe Lincoln & Co.
Away with the thought I- it is sh>-er profanation,
Say uot the r d rain tbat poured down thick
nod fast
In the days of our forefather's fierce tribulation.
Produces butirMtora and slaves tit tbe lasst.'
Say not that the offsprings ol mm wbo contended
Witb England, and beat her, will flee Irom tbe
lace
Of those modern Triumvirs whose uprise portended
Shame, danger and debt—Seward, Lincoln aod
Chase.
Say not lbat this glorious Republic, a model
That statesmen might copy, ia now given o'er
To lawyers, and croak.rs, and men used to dwndle
Their lives out in bars lelliogjokesby the score.
Oh, for those days! when the first war-cloud
clearing, -
Left us happy at home and respected abroad.
When at Freedom's high altar we worsh'Jped un-
learing.
And proudly acknowledged no "ruler" but God
With a bound we bad sprung from dependence to
glory._
Changed subjection to freedoom. dishonor to
fame,
And nations whose record is blazoned in story
Struck tyranny down while invoking our name.
Ah, well may our hearts swell withjipble emotion,
And our bosoma expand with a generous pride,
When we think how our fathers' heroic devotion
To freedom has been by tbeir offspring belied.
For now all is changed, and the land that lay
glowing
In Ihe sunshine of Freedom is shrouded from
view,
And the soil on which laurels and olives were
growing,
Is dreary witt cypress and dismal wilh yew.
Our rights are a mylb. and our laws a tradition.
And our liberties trampled beneath the armed
heel.
And fools in their folly decree it seditions,
For patriots to speak, or for freemen to feel.
But yesterday, strong, independent, united.
No blood ou onr bands, oo Cain braud on our
brow.
Today, what? Come tell us ye men who have
blighted
The national honor. Say what are we now ?
The bye-word ol tyrants, the scuff ol '.he nations.
Dumb dogs crouching down to a rude whipperin,
By slaves and by despots through all generations
Despised foK our piofitless E-.au-like sin.

Slate's Rights,
Remove not the ancient landmarks' which thy fathers
have set—-Pjoverbs xxii, 2SJ.
It is piofltable at all times to recur to first prin-
ci|I-s That holds good iu religion and politics.
Such recurrence, il done with the proper spirit,
will always prove advantageous to nations and
individuals, to ruleis and the governed. The an-
cent landmarks which Ihe fathers have set, are
guides which Bhould not be removed hy tboBe who
disire to be governed in tbeir daily walk and con-
vetsatiou by respect for the rights of their brethren and neighbors. We, propose as the spirit of
the times ig giving birth to every vague and loose
ideas about State's rights, to recur to the aneient
landmarks on the subject, which the people will
never allow to be removed as long as ther have
tbe will and tbe spirit lo maintain tbeir liberties.
Upon examining the Declaration of Independence it will be seen that anterior to ihe adopt on of
it, the thirteen States were thirteen separate and
distinct British colonies, each having separate and
distinct local governments, yet owing allegiance
to Great Britain, Tire Declaration of Independence declared these colonies to be thirteen "free
»nd independent States ;'' that as such "they have
full power to levy war," &a., and to "do all other
acls and things which independent States may of
right do." Tbis assertion of sovereignty was
adopted aud promulgated as the act of thirteen
States, and tint as tbe the act of a natioti or people
consolidated as one government. It is signed by
delegates representing the thirteen Slates, It also
dt'clsres that "whenever any lorm of government becomes destructive" of tb • "inalienable
rigbta of life, liberty and the puisuit of happiness,
it is the right nf the people to alter or abolish it,
and lo institute a new government."
In pursuance of tbis understanding, each of the
thirteen States, as separate and distinct sovereignties or governments, waged war with Great Britain, and as such, continued to do during tbe war.
Iu 1778 the Articles of Confederation were adopted. In this the sovereignty | or individuality of
each State it also expressly admitted and recognized. It begins, ''We, tbe undersigned delegate-
of the States," not of the people ; it then names
each of the thirteen Stales, and by the second article it expressly declares "each State retains its
severeignty, &c. This war lor a 'perpetual
union."
The "perpetual Union" began or wasjformpd in
1778 ; anterior thereto, there was no "Union" or
general bead to direct or carry the plans of the
States in conducting the war. The Union was to
be perpetual. It was not so, however ; it lasted
only Irom 1778 to 1787—nine years ; duiing this
period all the Slates acted as sovereign and independent States in all matters, except only as respect to powers delegated by ibe Articles of Confederation. In 1783—tbe war beiug over Great
Britain made a treaty of peace. In this treaty
Great Britain mentions by name, admit? and declares the the thirteen otates—not the people ol
these States, nor tbe government ot the United
gtateg— 'to be free sovereign and independent
States ; that he (he kin./) treats ibem as such."
Again, this treaty says, ''tbat Congress shall earnestly recommend it to tbe Legislatures of tb* respective States, to provide for the restitution of all
estates," , 1787, seceding and ratifying
the Constitution ; Georgia ratified it on the seoOnd
of January, 1788 ; Connecticut, 9th of January,
1788; ;M»s#iivsbuseitR. 9tti of February, 1788;
Maryland. 2rl "of April. 1788; South Carolina,'
23d ot May, 1788 ; and New Hampshire—the 9th
State—21st ot June, 1788 The 21«t of June, -1.788
save bitth lolheOooat tuition, and a "more.peifeet
Union ;" an from that day the Constitution became Ihe great character of the nine-States whicb
bad so ratified it, as well as all the other States
which subsequently ratified it; tben it was tbat
the Federal Government,oi the United States.of
America-as a Government^.first came- into existence. It has been Bbown tbat the "perpeiual
union" was dissolved in 1787, and so continued
until June 1788. Its disolution did not take place
by the unanimous consent of all the States rem
posing it, nor by-theconsent of the majority of the
Sta es, but it was by virtue ol each State admitting aud exercising the independent sovereignty
inherent in each .-and the right to alter or abolish
their lorm of goverment. Thi-a is ahown to bg'so
by the tardiness with which (he States ratified the
Constitution and established the "more perfeel
Union." From 1787 to June, 1788, all the thirteen
States were again acting as so many separate and
distinct sovereignties or nations, as distinct aud
as when acting under the British character, and as
before they adopted tbe Articles of tbe Constitution. In 1788 the ninth State having ratified the ■
Constitution, only nine ofthe thirteen States were
bound thereby—they only were in the more perfect Union," and acknowledged'a common head or
agent ; this agent was authorized to act for tbe
nine States tinner certain delegated powers, derived from said States, delegated to it by each State
at Ihe different pertoids, and not by the people as
oue nation or consolidated body.
On ibe 21st of June, 1788, afler the Constitution
had been r.alified by the ninth State, there yet remained four of the thirteen States, which one were
in tbe "perpetual union,' hut were then not in tbe
"more perfect- Union ; these four Slates coniinut-d
to act und»r anil to carry on tbeir respective governments independently af each other and ol tbe
SSates camprising the "more perfect Union," until
one after another ratified the Constitution and became members ol lhe "more perfect Union.'' Until the four States did ratify the Constitution, eBCb
conducting its own affair as an independent sovereign State or nation, in amity with the Federal
Government. Those four States, before ratifying
the Constitution, were not bound, by tbe Constitution, nor did th.' Federal Government so claim,
nor did it assume any control or power over tbem.
The relations ot tbe Uuited States wilh tbese four
Slates were amicable, friendly and conciliatory.
Rh.rd" I-ilapd. one of lhe four Slates referred to,
remained a sovereign State, or distinct government, dividing Massachusetts from Cot}o$ati$j)t;
New York wae another nation or government, the
divided Mas aehuseUs, Connecticut and New
Hampshire from Peunsy vauia, New Jersey, &c. ;
Virginia and NorlbkG>irplina, lhe other two . nations or governments, divided Pennstl-Kanl-aiMary-
land &c, from South CaUplina and Georgia; yet
for all tbese tbe friendly lelationsof these five
different nations or governments were not i.isturb-
ed. altbou h these relations continued to the 29lh
of May. 1799, when lhe thirteen Statea ratified the
Constitution. In theae daya there were no such
fears as now exist and, and as are expressed by
Mr. Lincoln and his party, as to a "notional boun
dary npon which to divide;" there were tbe
"surveyor's line"dividing tbe States in the Uni' n;
'■straight ai d crooked lines" were drrfwn as "national bonndnr es" between lhe United Slates and
other governments. From the time ol tbe secession
of Pennsylvania. Rhode Island and New Jersey,
which dissolved the "perpetual Union" of 1778.
until tbe whole thirteen States Were in the "more
perfect Union," all were on triendly relations,
then there was no wag ng war by oue or more
States or nations against the other, to compel or
coerce by force, by confiiscatioo, subjugation, extermination, proclamations, &c sovereign States
into the "perpetual Union," nor yet into tbe
"more perfect Union." Physic..'Iy speaking, tbe
-'thirteen sovereign States" did dissolve the "per
petual Union," and did separate, and act uuder
and in pursuance of Ihe inalienable rightB possessed by each, and as claimed lo belong to them by
the Declaration ol Independence.
When Rhode Island, New York, Virginia/and
North Casolinaj! came into Vbe "more peifect
Union," and when tbey respectively ratified the
Constitution, each distinctly and expressly claimed
the r'ght-to 'Vesume tbe powe*1' thereby delegated
"whenever it became necessary for their happiness." The Constitution was ratified by the Sates
and not by the people ; tbe Article of Con federation were alao adopted by the States; so. also,
was the Declaration of Independence The affair."
ol tbe Federal Government were at one time administered with due respect for the State rights.
Its life and existence is dependent upon the States
as sovereignties ; the President is elected by the
States »od»ot by tbe majority ol the people ; so,
also, are -Senators, &o. Many of these acts of tha
President and ol Congress are in direct opposition
to the will ofthe majority of the. people. The
Slate governments ate the first born, tbe elder.
They were and yet are, endowed with the rigfes
of "free and Independent States ;" ihey were once
—until the Constitution bad been, and now is, so
often violated—iti the posfessioo of powers, piivi
legeB and attributes of sovereign States. The Federal Government is the yoonger ; its existence
sprang from ihr States ; its powers *.re delegated
and Hmited, derivative, nor inherent, and the
powers not delegated to It by the States are reserved to the States, or th-- people, and by express
r servation by som. of the State* before named.
Pennsylvania, as early as 1806, in the celebrated Olmstead ease, defiantly asserted her State
i
righis. Iu this case, she by her Legislature, ado|-.
led a report and resolutions; the report says: "The
spirit oPtbd- times gives-birth to the jeilitusy of
power. * * The State Governments with their
Inherent rights, mast, at every hazard, be preserved; other wise the General Government may assume a character never contemplated by its fram-
ers.
Resolved, That, should the independence of the
States, as secured by tbe Constitution, bs destroyed, tbe liberties of lhe people cannot long uttrvlve
* * And whenever the Government of the United Stales becomes ciwsolidated, we may learn from
the history of nations what will be the event "
New York, New Jersey, Pennslvanis, and ether
States, are beginning to see that "Ihe spirit ef the
times giv-ts b'rtb to thejealousv of powr-r"—tbat
.-'States rights must at every hazard bi pre.eiv-
ed," &e.
The forefathers admitted and respected State's
rights. Tbey did not suffer the States In tha
Udion to wage war. Sic, against Slates which were
once in, but afterward were out of the Union.—
They kuew that, had they done so,
"aller much loss on both Bides," (here would be
"no gain on either." They continued on friendly
relations with StateB not in the Union, and at the
same time respected their rights, wben, after a
time, tbese States were by kindness won over, and
they voluntarily all became members of one Union
again.
Who doubts that this was a just and wise policy,
and that it would bave been otherwise bad force
afltftfoercivp measures been resorted to. Alas!
aalas! that Mr. Lincoln did not practice what be
prpached in bis inaugural. Had he done so, and
taken example from our forefathers, there would
have been no war, no loes of life, of treasure, of
property, no diatress, nor wails of widows and orphans. Instead of curses upon his bead, he would
have bad blessihgs. "Cursed be he who removath
his neighbor's landmark; and all tbe people shall
say, amen.'
Progressing Backwards.
The Abolition journals are quite prond of repeating that the "rebellion" is reduced to such a
limited space that it must soon be "crushed out
altogether." Mr. Washburn, a member of Mr.
Lincoln's Congress from Illinois, and Mr. Dan.
Dickenson, and other speakers at tbe Cooper Institute last Wednesday evening, repealed this assertion, and boasted, with tbe nsnai spread eagle
atyie. of the wonderful propress of tbe war slnee
it began iu April, 18G1. Now, what are the actual
facts of this matter ? Seven Slates had seceded
aria'-refused to recognize Mr. Lincoln as their Chief
Magistrate, for not only had he no supporters in
the Southern Slates, but, simply as a private oitl-
zen, if he had ventured there, he would have been
arrested as an enemy to society and sent to tbe
penitentiary. Viiginia. North Carolina, Tennessee and ArknaDsas, though Mr. Li icoln was eqaal-
'y without supporters and equally subject te be
sent to the penitentiary if he ventured ia their
midst, were so deeply devoted to the Union, and
bad such a dread ol civil war, lhat tbey deslared,
by overwhelming majorities, not to leave the
Union, but trust to the protest of the seceding
.States to bring.the North to its senses. Virginia
bas made the Union, and not only given it almost
all.its celebiity, but tbe great Northwest and half
its territory; and therefore, the descendants of tbe
Washingtons, Jeffersons, Lees and Henrys, having
more cause than all other States and people to
stand by tbe work of their lathers, shrunk with
horror from its destruction. Thns stood ths ease
when Mr. Liucoln undertook to force the seeeded
Slates iu,tpeubmission, and called on ibe Governors of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee aod
Arkansas, in common wilh Massachusetts, «to., fer
.Irogprj to accomplish that object. Tbat was in
April, 1861 and this is October, 1863. aod save a
petty tract of territory about New Orleans, there
is not a single Federal soldier on the mainlaad of
the original Confederate territorj, while Mr. Lie-
coin bas lost-three-fourths of Virginia, two third*
of Tennessee, mote than half of Arkansas.'nearly
all ot N,»fflb Carolina, and at times the rebtls have
overrun Missouri, part of Maryland and Kentacky,
and even temporarily held a considerable portion
of Pennsylvania This is sneeess with avsngsanoe,
truly, and if Mr Lincoln continues thus lo progr***
backward for tbe rest of bis term, at the same ratio, it would seem almost 'certain tbat he will be
driven into the New England States, and ceme
out, high and dry the recognized President ef the
Bffaihired States. Such are the facts. Now, sup-
pidSe*Mr Lincoln hsd made no attempt to *o«r*e
the seVen seceding State", then it is absolutely eer-
tain the Union would include Virginia, Teaa-ssee,
North Carolina and Arkansas, wilbout tbe los* of
a'single lire, or the waste el a singls dollar. What
a stupendous madness is coercion 1—a madnesi
which, if continued until Mr. Lincoln's Istm is ap,
is almost certain to demolish wbat is left ef the
bnion. Bul the Union, the real Uuien, still survives in the hearts, faithful to the t emulation, and whatever the madness or srime ef the
hour, it will yet rise from tl • ruins that now ever-
shadow it. grander and more glorious thaa ev(|
when th. madness oollapses. aud.the madnea disappear from the sce,ue.—.V- Y. Day-Buuh.
